Colonial Warfare 1900-39
Colonial warfare, which may crudely be described as conflict between white forces (or at least forces commanded by white men) and non-white groups,1 can be divided into three distinct modes during the period from the turn of the century to the beginning of the Second World War. In the first place there were wars of conquest fought by imperial powers against indigenous forces in order to secure territory. The second mode, while also involving conq…

The Irish military tradition and the British Empire
In the early nineteenth century Ireland supplied a disproportionate share of the soldiers in the British army. During the period from the Second South African War to the World War of 1914-1918 criticism by nationalists of Irish recruitment to the British forces gathered strength. The Irish Republic remained a significant source of recruits, at least for the Irish infantry regiments. Family tradition has certainly sustained enlistment from Ireland…
General introduction
Imperial historians have long appreciated the interactive character of the culture and politics of the British Empire with those of the congeries of nations
Dedication
Commemoration in the United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom (UK) the centenary commemoration of the First World War has been driven by a combination of central government direction (and funding) with a multitude of local and community initiatives, with a particular focus on 4 August 2014; 1 July 2016 (the beginning of the Battle of the Somme) and 11 November 2018. ‘National’ ceremonies on these dates have been and will be supplemented with projects commemorating micro-stories and gov…
Exhuming Passions

Distance and Proximity in Service to the Empire
This essay uses the concepts of ‘distance’ and ‘proximity’ to investigate and assess perceptions of community, nation and empire in inter-war New Zealand and Ulster (as well as Ireland and Northern Ireland) within a British imperial context, and explores the extent to which service of the empire (for example in the First World War) promoted both notions of imperial unity and local autonomy. It focuses on how these perceptions were articulated in …

The road to Asia, and the Grafton Hotel, Dublin
The title of this essay draws on a quotation from an article reflecting on the 1919–22 ‘crisis of empire’ written by the late J. A. (Jack) Gallagher (one half of Robinson and Gallagher, the finest double act in British imperial historiography). The complete sentence from which the title is derived reads as follows: ‘But for us the road to Asia lies through the swing doors of the Grafton Hotel in Dublin, one of the cover headquarters of the revolu…
Irish Governments and the Guardianship of Historical Records, 1922 72
This is a story of tragedies but with a generally happy ending, well researched and elegantly told. The chief tragedy is, of course, the catastrophic loss of historical records when the Irish Public Record Office was destroyed in the early summer of 1922 at the start of the Irish Civil War. Republicans occupying the Four Courts in Dublin had converted the office buildings into a munitions factory and explosives store with (as it turned out) predi…
Ireland in Transition, 1867–1921
Ireland in Transition, 1867–1921. Edited by D. GEORGE BOYCE and ALAN O'DAY (London: Routledge, 2004; pp. 291. £20.99). THE editors of this volume have gathered together a series of stimulating essays, written by an admirable combination of established and post-doctoral scholars, concentrating on what they regard as a ‘key period’ in Irish history, and with a particular emphasis on the formation of Irish identity. Although the focus throughout is …
Crown, communication and the colonial post
This article investigates some of the possibilities for imperial history of using philatelic evidence. It explores the ways in which the British empire as a working world system was underpinned by the Imperial Penny Postage and the production and use of postage stamps bearing the images of successive British monarchs and other British imperial iconography. With particular emphasis on the reign of George V, who took an especially close interest in…
Hut ab,” “Promenade with Kamerade for Schokolade,” and the Flying Dutchman
This essay explores the social history of the "British Army of the Rhine," especially their interactions with the German population, over the eleven-year period of occupation in Cologne and part of the Rhineland. It covers the initial, sometimes fraught establishment of the occupation and interactions with the civil population, especially the perennial problem of British soldiers' relations with German women. These were initially prohibited altog…

Ireland and the Great War
The Second World War
The Second World War marked the greatest and the ultimate period of ‘revival’ of the British Empire. In the short term, at least, the impact of war did much to strengthen the Imperial system. The general nature of British imperialism, with its peacetime free press, civil rights, habeas corpus, the cultivation of élites, and promises, paid enormous dividends during the war. The way the constituent parts of the Empire went to war in 1939 is quite r…
An Irish Empire'? Aspects of Ireland and the British Empire
This volume, which explores aspects of the experience of Ireland and Irish people within the British Empire, addresses a central concern of modern Irish scholarship. Much academic writing about Ireland, its history and culture is dominated by the vocabulary of imperialism. Engels described Ireland as England's first colony. Contemporary observers frequently characterise it as having a post-colonial society. Ireland, on the other hand, was also pa…

The British Army and Internal Security 1919–1939
Systematic military policy-making towards internal security in Great Britain dates from the period immediately following the First World War. It was stimulated above all by widespread fears of possible revolution, sharpened by a belief in the collective incapacity of police forces to deal with civil disorder. Many, although by no means all, politicians and senior officials felt that the labour militancy of the 1920s was simply the harbinger of ‘r…
An English Barrack in the Oriental Seas'? India in the Aftermath of the First World War
During the last ninety years of British rule in India, the 'Jewel of the Empire' was, as Lord Salisbury remarked in 1882, easily regarded by many British imperialists as 'an English barrack in the Oriental Seas from which we may draw any number of troops without paying for them'. In more prosaic terms India was seen as a permanent strategic reserve and the principal means by which British interests were secured throughout Asia, from Suez to Wei-h…
